]]>Man Up stars Simon Pegg as a guy who has a great time with his blind date who isn’t completely, totally honest with him. Lake Bell stars as the lying liar who lies in order to be with him. Just so we’re clear that this is a work of fiction, Lake Bell looks like this:

And Simon Pegg looks like this.Once her deceit is revealed, they then break up and spend the rest of the movie figuring out that they want to be together. What until he finds out that she’s not even really British.

Or maybe you will. The limitless reach of director David Wain and The State alum has grasped Josh Charles, Lake Bell, Rob Huebel, Paul Scheer, Randall Park, John Slattery and Richard Schiff to join.While it’s always nice to see a funny project, Icarus here might be flying a little too close to the sun. That is to say, maybe they’re spreading eight episodes so thin that it might go from a humorous character study to a clown car parade of cameos. That’s not to say it wouldn’t still be funny and awesome, just not on as satisfying a level.

Anyway, we can all agree that this is better than getting NO guest stars. So just be happy for their success.

]]>In HBO’s “How to Make it in America,” Lake Bell plays a twenty-something New Yorker who, as per the show’s title, is attempting to make it in America. Bell, who starred on Adult Swim‘s “Childrens Hospital” for two seasons and still occasionally makes appearances on the show, recently showed up in No Strings Attached and A Good Old Fashioned Orgy. So clearly she’s comedically oriented. Hot funny girls, man. We need more of them.

Learned that one the hard way.

]]>A whole mess on funny people are gettin’ together, and they’re all gonna bang each other in A Good Old Fashioned Orgy. Why they’re having the orgy isn’t important. They’re doing it to save a rec center or for the Red Cross, or something. What’s important is that they’re doing it. And if you’re at all familiar with contemporary comedy, you’re going to notice at least a handful of the cast.

Sony has picked up the invite to 'A Good Old Fashioned Orgy'. As most fictional orgies do, the cast consists of weird looking guys and drop dead gorgeous women.

The story centers around “a close group of 30-somethings who spend every summer weekend throwing elaborate theme parties at their friend Eric’s (Sudeikis) family home in the Hamptons. When Eric’s dad decides to sell off their summer playground, the friends agree there is only one way to have the biggest and brashest send off party a good old fashioned orgy.”
